Property Management

Management Team

Schrader Commercial Properties is a company that offers personalized service to both property owners and tenants and during the course of our engagement you will likely work with several of our employees through our team approach to customer relations.

Our day to day property management point-of-contact is our property manager, Melinda Wester. Melinda brings more than 20 years of administrative, customer service and property management experience to our company. She makes frequent site visits to assess maintenance issues and can assist owners and tenants with repairs and improvements to keep properties in prime condition.

Our office manager, Kay Stewart has over 25 years of business experience in the accounting, legal and property management departments of a large restaurant franchisee. She has an outstanding work ethic and is known by our tenants, property owners and vendors for her high level of customer service.

Your property will also be supported by Jeff Jennings, our full-time maintenance technician who will be on call 24 hours per day. Jamie Schrader will be working jointly with Melinda, Kay and Jeff and will be on-site regularly to speak with property owners about building issues and will personally handle all leasing. We know from previous experience that commercial property issues occur in the middle of the night, on weekends and on holidays and we are staffed to respond and have responded to emergencies 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Management Experience

Schrader Commercial Properties management responsibilities principally involve commercial office buildings, retail properties, associations and work as a court-appointed receiver on commercial properties. Our company manages 3292 Eagle View Lane Condominium Association office building and the Eagle View Plaza Association which manages the campus grounds. In addition, we manage 151 and 161 North Eagle Creek Office Drive, a 70,000 square foot office building complex across from St. Joseph East Hospital. We were engaged by WesBanco to manage its Lexington branches as well as branches in Nicholasville and Wilmore. Schrader Commercial most recently acted as court-appointed receiver on the property at 163 Old Todds Road. Receiver assignments involve recommendations from lenders and approvals from the court and require the immediate takeover of mismanaged and troubled assets.

Financial Reporting

Accurate, detailed and timely financial reporting is a critical component of quality property management. You will receive by the 15th of each month, emailed to whomever you designate, the following information:

  • Copy of all canceled checks
  • General ledger with sufficient detail to show every check written, dollar amount, payee and purpose.
  • Copy of Bank Statement and Reconciliation of Bank Statement
  • Balance Sheet and Income Statement
  • Comparison of Income Statement to Budget
  • Current Rent Roll
  • Delinquency Report
  • Narrative Report addressing any property management issues or ongoing projects at the property.
  • Information on leasing prospects and lease renewal discussions.
  • Market information that would be useful to use in assessing its overall investment.

Financial controls will be implemented to provide necessary assurances that quality reporting exists and to meet the owner’s requirements. All checking accounts will be single-purpose accounts solely for the management of the property and there will be no commingling in the account of other deposit funds. Approvals for expenditures will be in accordance with policies set by you and will be followed closely by Schrader Commercial Properties.

Property Management

You will benefit by having Schrader Commercial Properties available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 365 days per year to handle property emergencies. We use an efficient work order system which allows tenants or property owner to submit work orders electronically and we also are available by phone. Our personnel will be on-site on a regular basis and highly visible to the property owners and tenants, particularly during the initial transition period.

Our complete duties and responsibilities are outlined in more detail in our management agreement.
